>> we saw a little bit of movement between the senate majority leader harry reid and mitch mcconnell did speak by telephone. they talk about how they get out of the situation they are in right now. two different things they have to address. one is funding the government and passing a resolution that would allow money to flow into the federal government put workers back into their jobs. in addition to that and perhaps more pressing, is the debt ceiling is increasing the debt ceiling. we're told by the u.s. debt treasury, that united states would have a default. this is what harry reid had to say about his conversation with mitch mcconnell. >> i add productive conversation with republican leader this afternoon. our discussions were substantive. and we will continue those discussions. and a positive conclusion for issues before this country today. >> don, let me be perhaps negative there. speaking to a source familiar with these discussions, they said don expect anything substantive to happen tonight. the conversations will probably pick up in earnest tomorrow. well see marcus opening u

then harry reid is going to have a tough decision to make. then it really will be harry reid's default. >> you don't think any democrats will vote on this tonight? i mean, i know that's not probably a proper question to ask you since you're a member of the republican conference. is the speaker devising this with the idea that maybe he will get some democratic votes? >> well, we know that in the senate it will get democratic votes. we know there's strong bipartisan support for this. in the house, it's a much more political -- this is one of the things that some of my conservative friends haven't figured out yet. without 218 votes in the house, you just don't have any leverage. so i don't suspect that nancy pelosi is going to give us very many votes, but there will be a few democrats that vote. >> before you go, i want to clarify one thing you said about the changes the speaker made to this republican plan. sounds like you're saying not only would people like you, members of congress, the president, the cabinet, not get federal subsidies for yo

harry reid has a united caucus on this. he's not so worried about losing those red state democrats and the strategy is a non-negotiation strategy as we just heard for the last hour from the president of the united states. so there aren't any back room deals that are being cooked up. they're just not talking to each other but biden has been in these meetings. it's very clear, though, that harry reid has said i'm taking the lead, i'm the guy this time around. >> a little awkward, indeed. jonathan, good reporting. thanks very much. gloria will stick around. we just heard john boehner, the speaker of the house, will be making a statement reacting to the president within the next half hour. we will of course have live coverage right here on cnn. things i prefer to do on my own. but when it comes to investing, i just think it's better to work with someone. someone you feel you can really partner with. unfortunately, i've found that some brokerage firms don't always encourage that kind of relationship. that's why i stopped working

harry reid doubts such a measure to ban assault weapons would get through the house. what does that mean for national gun control laws? are we at a stalemate? >> i don't believe we are. it comes down to what are we going to be able to get bipartisan support for in the congress? and there are three things that i believe are possible to get across the aisle support. my major focus has been since january 8th on mental health services and awareness and i'll be dropping a bill today that will move in that direction called the mental health first aid act so that's one thing that i believe is possible. there seems to be some cross unanimity across the aisle on mental health services and my bill will hopefully be one of the first steps in that direction. >> you met with vice president biden as part of a task force convened by the president. the vice president was supposed to deliver his recommendations today to the president, but he delayed that. why the holdup? >> i'm not sure i could tell you why the holdup. i know that when we met yesterday, the task force that i'm a membe
